By the way, it isn't immediately apparent, but you must reboot after
resetting the time zone.
I suppose I should have mentioned before you all rebooted that this is only
necessary if you are changing the actual zone you are in, not if you are
simply changing from daylight to standard time. The problem is that Unix
caches the time zone, and 'tz' doesn't update the cache.
Does this cache get updated by any other process?
Does timed use UCT to synch the time?
Does timed update the disk/calendar time? Are there two time systems running (amuck)?
